What are Affirmations
I am doing some research about what exactly are Affirmations, and how they help and not help people in the long run. After linking to different; blogs, facebook and twitter websites, I found myself asking many question around Affirmations and how they are formed and why/how they are useful to many. The following are key words and statements that I took down from specific websites like; Wikipedia, I will write about them later this next week, when I get a better understanding of the whole concept of Affirmation; prayer, visualization, personal magnetism, and positive thinking.

So far in my research I do not believe in the "get rich" movement which comes with some of the Affirmation Movements, because everyone should be in comfort with enough money for them selves and others around them. I feel there is a huge difference between prosperity and 'getting rich"; for prosperity includes many assets around yourself that helps others as well; clean air, food & water sustainable and community benefits.
